the dbzer0 piracy community has been around much longer than most of the users here. they spun up when they saw the writing on the wall, and they permit things that would not be permitted on reddit. and, it seems, they permit things that are not permitted on .world.
but the instance is still there. the community is still there.
and you can leave .world, join an instance that hasn't banned !piracy, and keep right on going.
historically, this isn't true. i know about the southern strategy and all, but i also think it's worth pointing out who did all the lynching. fuck party loyalty.
Fascism is a political strategy that seeks to preserve, create, and entrench structures and relationships of power imbalance by means of promoting and facilitating mass, broad-spectrum chauvinism in ways that are likely to encourage widespread individual and systemic violence.
fascism is a social theory that elevates the interests of the state above all else, bringing all other institutions into line with the goals of the state.
sometimes, this will require strict stratification. people will not support the state while thy don't believe in the fairness of the stratification.
chauvinism may be a useful tool to some regimes, but it's not necessary or sufficient to identify a society as fascist.
But there’s a difference between 1 minority political party and electing one President
we've been fascist for decades. it's not a minority political party, it's wall street, the intelligence apparatus, the military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex, the media conglomerates, the republicans, and the democrats.
voting won't fix this situation. you don't need to do something immoral like vote for biden, though. you could vote for someone who wouldn't do the bad things that we all know biden and trump would do.
i think you're going to have to come to grips with the fact that you are not the arbiter of the meaning of terrorism, and its useful meaning has nothing to do with emotions.
